Fun-filled holiday childcare.
Our Holiday Playscheme provides fun and flexible childcare for children aged 2–11 years during selected school holidays.
Every holiday is different! Activities and experiences are planned around the children’s ages, interests and choices.
These can include arts and crafts, sports and games, beach visits, cooking and baking, outdoor adventures, themed activities, construction, special visitors and trips.
Our Holiday Playscheme makes good use of our local area, including community facilities, Forest School and beach experiences.
Woodland Adventure Days.
During selected school holidays, we also offer special Forest School Woodland Adventure Days for children aged 3+.
Children can spend the day outdoors exploring, creating, cooking, playing and enjoying everything our Forest School has to offer.
Healthy eating, every day.
We promote healthy eating throughout our provision. Breakfast is provided for children attending Breakfast Club, and children are offered healthy snacks and drinks during the day. Fresh drinking water is available.
Children staying for the full day bring a healthy packed lunch from home. When your child joins us, we record any allergies, dietary requirements, preferences and individual needs so we can support them safely.
During Holiday Club, children are provided with snacks and drinks, with breakfast provided where applicable. Children attending for a full day should bring a clearly labelled packed lunch.
Book and manage sessions in the Famly app.
Breakfast Club, After School Club, Holiday Playscheme and additional childcare sessions can be requested through the Famly app. Places are subject to availability.
More than childcare – a place to play, make friends and have fun!
Childcare in Aberporth that fits your working week.
Finding childcare that works around your job, your child’s school day and the school holidays can feel like a puzzle. Our childcare in Aberporth is designed to fit together, so one friendly team can care for your child from Playgroup right through to the end of primary school. Children aged 2 to 11 are welcome, and many families use a mix of Breakfast Club, After School Club and holiday sessions.
Breakfast Club opens from 8:00am so that you can drop off early and still get to work on time. After School Club includes collection from Ysgol Gynradd Aberporth, so there is no rush at the school gates. During selected school holidays our Holiday Play and Childcare Scheme runs from 8:00am to 4:00pm, with morning, afternoon and full-day sessions.
One friendly team, every session.
Whichever childcare sessions you choose, children enjoy play, creative activities, outdoor time and a healthy snack in a warm, bilingual setting. You can see the cost of each session on our fees and funding page, and find out how our younger children learn at Playgroup or outdoors at Forest School.
Some families may be able to use the Childcare Offer for Wales to help with the cost of childcare. You can check whether you are eligible on the Welsh Government website. If you would like to talk about the childcare you need, or you would like to see the setting first, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Our team knows that a good routine matters just as much as a good activity. Children arrive to a familiar face, settle into play and have time to eat, rest and run around in the fresh air. Staff pass on anything important at collection time, so you always know how your child’s day has gone. If your plans change, speak to us and we will do our best to help.
